Medicare

Originating in the 1960s, Medicare is a government-provided fee-for-service insurance program intended primarily for seniors. The program encompasses several distinct parts, each of which is outlined below.

Medicare Part A covers facility-based care such as hospital visits, emergency room services, hospice, and nursing home care.

Medicare Part B covers traditional outpatient treatments and services, including vaccinations, lab tests, mental health services, outpatient operations, durable medical equipment, and most other medical services not performed in a hospital.

Medigap comes through private insurance companies and aims to fill in the “gaps” left in the traditional Medicare coverage.

While standard Medicare offers coverage for a wide variety of services, you may find that a different plan through a separate insurance carrier better fits your needs. If you are interested in an alternative plans, we can help you find coverage through either Medigap or Medicare Advantage.
